Movie Reviews of On the Waterfront (Special Edition)/The Wild One
Movie Review: You cannot miss out on these classics...
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Wild One" and "On the Waterfront" are by now, considered classics in the Marlon Brando filmography, together with the lesser known "The Men", which launched him, and the masterpiece "A Streetcar Named Desire", adapted from the stage play by Tennessee Williams.
The transfer on DVD is fair, not exceptional, but fair. But due to the age of these two movies, it is already a miracle they look and feel, the way they do.
But the DVDs help preserve for a long time to come, two of the best performances Brando ever gave, and that helped him leap to international, if not worldwide fame.
There are no major special features, but this should not scare anybody off, since the movies alone speak volumes by themselves.
One major improvement, compared to previous editions, including VHS versions, is the sound.
This time you get sharp and clear dialogues and the music is not overbearing as in some of the earlier versions.
"On the Waterfront" also offers you great and solid performances by other great actors, such as Lee J. Cobb, Karl Malden, Rod Steiger and Eva Marie Saint.
This in itself, is a gift to those who love great group acting.
For this price, they are almost a give away and you are sure to enjoy two of the best examples of how movies can be done on a budget, without having to lose out on quality.
I can only strongly recommend these two, in tandem or by themselves.
